Since the ITER divertor design includes tungsten monoblocks in vertical target where heat loads are maximal, to protect leading edges as well technology R&D for high performance armor-heat sink joint were necessary be implemented. In R&D, availability of was demonstrated by flux test monoblock components. Not systematically but frequently macro-cracks appeared at middle after 20 MW/m2 loading. The initiation such considered due cyclic exposure temperature, ∼2000 °C, creep, recrystallization...
We present a measurement of ${R}_{{K}^{*}}$, the branching fraction ratio $\mathcal{B}(B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{*}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}})/\mathcal{B}(B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{*}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}})$, for both charged and neutral $B$ mesons. The case ${R}_{{K}^{*+}}$ is first ever performed. In addition, we report absolute fractions individual modes in bins squared dilepton invariant mass ${q}^{2}$. analysis based on data sample $711\text{...
As part of the ITER Design Review and in response to issues identified by Science Technology Advisory Committee, physics requirements were reviewed as appropriate updated. The focus this paper will be on recent work affecting design with special emphasis topics near-term procurement arrangements. This describe results on: sensitivity studies, poloidal field coil requirements, vertical stability, effect toroidal ripple thermal confinement, material choice heat load for plasma-facing...
The ITER divertor design is the culmination of years physics and engineering effort, building confidence that this critical component will satisfy requirements meet challenge burning plasma operation. With 54 cassette assemblies, each weighing ∼9 tonnes, nearly 3900 actively cooled high heat flux elements rated to steady-state surface power densities 10 MW m−2 a total ∼60 000 carbon fibre composite monoblocks ∼260 tungsten monoblocks/flat tiles, be largest most advanced its kind ever...
This paper summarizes the latest progress in ITER blanket system design as it proceeds through its final phase with Final Design Review planned for Spring 2013. The is constrained by demanding and sometime conflicting interface requirements from plasma systems such vacuum vessel, in-vessel coils manifolds. represents a major challenge, which highlighted this examples of solutions to accommodate some key integration requirements.
The first EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) plasma ignited in 2006 with non-actively cooled steel plates as the plasma-facing materials and components (PFMCs) which were then upgraded into full graphite tiles bolted onto water-cooled copper heat sinks 2008. wall was changed further molybdenum alloy 2012, while keeping for both upper lower divertors. With rapid increase heating current driving power EAST, W/Cu divertor project launched around end of aiming at achieving...
Using the entire Belle data sample of 980 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ $e^+e^-$ collisions, we present results a study excited $\Omega_c$ charmed baryons in decay mode $\Xi_c^+K^-$. We show confirmation four five narrow states reported by LHCb Collaboration: $\Omega_c(3000)$ , $\Omega_c(3050)$, $\Omega_c(3066)$, and $\Omega_c(3090)$.
The paper describes the results of a physics analysis modified divertor cassette for ITER. issues addressed are impact on operational window, effect gas leaks through broader gaps between cassettes and radiation power loading different components cassettes. shows that new design ensuring more flexibility ITER operation remains acceptable within framework usual trade-off target helium removal efficiency. load side walls structures in inter-cassette is identified as constraint not previously...
The full tungsten divertor qualification program was defined for the R&D activity in domestic agencies. consists of two steps: (i) technology development and validation (ii) a full-scale demonstration. Small-scale mock-ups were manufactured Japanese European industries delivered to ITER test facility Russia high heat flux testing. In parallel program, both agencies demonstrated that W monoblock technologies withstanding up 20 MW m−2 available.
